Over the 8 weeks and the final return leg (just completed tonight) it's really, really hard to tell. I guess I could add up all the Tesla, Electrify America, Francis Energy, Red E and other app billings... but sorry that's just much work.
And to Your question, let's consider that all the RV...
Thank You. All the nephews have turned out to be good boys / young men. So far, between the Mach E Mustang and the F150 Lightning, four of them have explored the USA with me.
Folks,
Long 2-month trip - a fairly short trip report. "Just the facts, Ma'am"...
I picked up a(nother) 14-year old European nephew in NYC on 29 June 2025. We then spent 7 weeks and 5 days on a coast-to-coast trip and ended the road part in Grand Junction Colorado, where for lack of...
We regularly stay at state parks with RV pads (pretty much every state park with camping has these). Never had a question or a problem charging the truck off the NEMA 14-50 receptacle. We did 23 states this July and August. Additionally, we also stay at (somewhat cheaper) military RV camps...
Very nice! Congrats on a fun Summer trip.
We just finished our Lightning + teardrop trip... well, meaning I just put the nephew on his plane back to Europe in NYC two days ago and now I'm flying back to Grand Junction Colorado in 36 hours to drive the Lightning + teardrop back here to...
Nice detailed trip report - thanks OP.
We have just also completed a 9,300+ mile trip from NYC thru the Mid-Atlantic and the Midwest and out to Black Hills, Yellowstone & Grand Tetons, then the Bonneville Speedway :crazy::crazy::crazy: and down to Yosemite, then the SF Bay and down to AL / San...
A great soundproofing / music-improving product for doors is the door blocking-off panels for the large inner door hole, at www.soundsgoodstereo.com. I added my blocking-off panels right over the water vapor plastic barrier, as its edge goo helps to seal the block-off panels against the metal.
Electricity is electricity. When in a desert, any glass of water is a good thing. ...and electricity is pretty much everywhere, albeit at varying voltages and amperes, so why not make use of it?
A side note for Tesla Supercharger station cord evolution... I just completed a 9,300+ mile two month trip during which we used Tesla as well as CCS DC Fast charging stations, as needed.
We actually tripped into two (out of at least 20) Tesla locations where the Supercharger cords were of "CCS...
A bit late but maybe this'll be helpful:

Nice mileage!
I got my ER XLT in mid-July 2024. I just turned 69,000 last week at the end of a 9,300 cross-country road trip with a young nephew. This truck is a keeper! Very, very happy... no problems at all.
No hard data numbers to add to the graphs by the OP, but two observations on a completion of a 9,300+ mile cross country road trip...
1). At the Bonneville Salt Flats Speedway several weeks ago, neither I nor my drift-crazy young nephew could induce much drifting on the Salt Flats... despite...
Folks,
I installed a new (used) powerfolding mirror on my XLT Lightning's right door (only the right door for now). Everything works on it, correctly, EXCEPT powerfolding / autofolding.
I also have the appropriate door mirror control switch and the BoostedGoose wires installed.
I wrote the...
Things I learned while towing an admittedly much smaller, lighter teardrop with two different Ford EVs, which might be of use for You:
1. When in doubt about range, slow down. I find a sweet spot is about 62 - 64 MPH with my rig. I've gone as slow as 40 MPH when in risky range situations...
+1. Especially after living with the Mach E pano roof during long Winter drives and watching traction (HV) battery power drain its mileage by cabin heat continuously dissipating through that pano roof. Never again a glass roof on any EV I will own.
